Both Kosovo and Vojvodina were provinces with autonomy in Serbia, but the Serb precident Slobodan Milosevic ended this autonomy in 1989.
According to the last census from 1991, Vojvodina has 2,013,889 inhabitants, which is slightly more than 20% of the total population of Serbia. With a population of 1,143,723, the Serbs make the absolute majority in the province.
Then come the Hungarians - 339,491, Croats - 74,808, Slovaks - 63,545, Montenegrins - 44,838, Rumanians - 38,809, Romanies - 24,366, Ruthenians - 17,652, Macedonians - 17,472 and other smaller ethnic groups like the Ukrainians, Albanians, Slovenians and others (a total of 26 nations and national and ethnic groups) while 174,225 inhabitants declare themselves as Yugoslavs.
The Statute of Vojvodina which is the basic legal act of the province, permits, besides the Serbian language, the official use of four other languages of the largest national minorities: Hungarian, Slovak, Rumanian and Ruthenian. Except for the language, the population differs in religion so that the Serbs, Montenegrins, Rumanians, Romanies, Macedonians and Ukrainians are Orthodox, Hungarians, Croats and Ruthenians Catholic while Slovaks are Protestant. There is also a number of Muslims and other smaller religious communities
.
We know for a fact that the minorities of Vojvodina has met a lot of problems due to the Serb authorities and their actions in the area after WW2. After the breakdown of Yugoslavia in 1991 the situation has hardened even more. This site will focus on the Hungarian situation. By using links and facts from all over the world I hope this site will give you some information on the subject you didn't have before.
